#BookBlogWriMo – Day 14

Day 14: Your Ratings System

(A lot of blogs have ratings policies or systems. Some don’t, but they really do. What makes you decide how many stars to give?)

I used to display my ratings loud and proud along with my reviews, but stopped doing it out of pure laziness. I guess I would fall under the category of someone who actually does give star reviews (at least I give them when I post the reviews to my Twitter account and when I rate the books on Goodreads/Amazon) but for the most part I don’t say anything about them on my blog itself. Obviously, how good the book is makes me determine how many stars to give, but this can include a lot of different things like did I like the general plot, were the characters awesome, was the storyline original, etc. I’m also pretty liberal about giving star reviews so that’s another reason I don’t put them up on my blog because they can mean so many different things to so many different people.
